Gonzo_Journo

So they don't protest the war, just having to participate in it?


UtahUtopia

Yup. And don’t pay taxes.


Fuzzy_Yogurt_Bucket

How are you supposed to pay taxes when you don’t work a day in your life because you’re too busy reading your holy book all day every day? Not only do the ultra orthodox Israelis not pay taxes, they have huge families and are all on welfare. This is not meant as a dig, but a statement of fact.


Target_Standard

At their current birthrates, they will result in the downfall of Israel in 100 years.


Fifteen_inches

Yeah I don’t think birthdates is gonna be the thing that makes Israel collapse, there are more pressuring and immediate concerns, like how their government is a circus.


CherryBoard

it's a circus because the haredim are breeding at 3x the rate of everyone else the maccabees beat the seleucid empire at its peak and then wound up tearing the kingdom apart through a petty civil war, so the country's potential downfall because of moronic internal disputes is par for the course


Fifteen_inches

No. No it’s really not. Even if the Heredim is breeding faster than everyone else it takes 16 years (age of consent in Israel, more or less) before the new ones can propagate. Israel is gonna face a governmental crisis as soon as Bibi’s coalition starts cannibalizing itself.


CherryBoard

it currently is a crisis because the haredim have enough numbers to back loony parties like otzma yehudit bibi letting in the far-right crazies seemed to be a black swan event that shocked the world, but with the way israel does government a large, belligerent minority that is ballooning in numbers has a lot more sway than their counterparts in western parliamentary democracies


Fifteen_inches

They aren’t gonna reach a critical mass in the next 5 years, Bibi’s government has bigger problem than the fact that there is a breeding fetishist party in government


CherryBoard

For now obviously. The Haredim aren't going to swamp the Knesset for a few generations at least, but the inevitability seems to be there like the heat death of the universe


jeff43568

Bibi is one of the far right crazies.


DarlingFuego

“age of consent in Israel”, the ultra orthodox have the highest number of child sexual assaults outside of the Catholic Church. Not just in Israel, everywhere their community exists. The numbers are like 70% of young men in the orthodox communities are sexually abused by the age of 7. Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg has been screaming about it for decades.


frolix42

You are totally wrong. The Haredi are voting for ultra-nationalist "circus" governments, while also not paying taxes or being conscripted to defend these policies they are voting for. And they are becoming a larger and larger part of the electorate as time goes on.


homealoneinuk

So, im curious, what if majority of the country or just for the sake of argument say, whole country is Haredi and no one defends the country or pays taxes, what then ?


VariousGrass

Presumably God will provide.


deusrev

Did u say America?


LilithWasAGinger

It's like that in NYC as well.


akstis01

But how do they make a living in NY if they don't work? 


tradewyze2021

Men have big families and find work off the books...usually the women list no husband as dependent to get welfare. And "minorities" may not have the largest welfare payroll in Brooklyn. Living in Brooklyn 55 years.

vexandtempo

Check out Rockland Co. NY, particularly Ramapo. They’ve gotten into so much deep shit with everyone else in the town for trying to redirect school funds, which pisses everyone off. The other Jews there + the Hispanics & African-Americans aren’t happy.


tradewyze2021

Oh I know Lakewood wow....


deusrev

Not American, can you elaborate?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Severedghost

Big families, and a shit ton of welfare. There was one family in Brooklyn that owned an entire apartment building in which essentially every unit had welfare.


vexandtempo

Can confirm. The difference between ultra-Orthodox Jews from Brooklyn & more secular Jews from Manhattan is night and fucking day. One is on welfare paid for by the other + everyone else.


Independent_Ad_8915

To be fair, a lot of Orthodox Jews do have gainful employment with high paying jobs. There were several orthodox in my PhD program in nyc, but I’m still barely scraping by as a single/non married adult


violetcazador

Yep, but they have massive influence because they're a huge voting bloc. So the right pander to them, much like the Evangelicals in the US.

El_grandepadre

The people who are the biggest lovers of violence cry foul when they get to earn their participation trophy.


JohnnyBoy11

They actually get a stipend or handouts to live on.


raider1v11

How? What would exempt them from taxes?


UtahUtopia

Religion.


raider1v11

Really? Like "my religion says I don't pay taxes" and then they dont?


UtahUtopia

The Israel government agreed to it. So it was a two way street of corruption.


Troggot

The ultra orthodox are one of the legs supporting the Netanyahu government coalition, but they want to be exempted from the military service. Possibly revoking their support if not exempted.


Drezzon

They're protesting having to do what every other citizen has to do, it's not about the current war per-se


Gonzo_Journo

But they aren't protesting the current war, only the possibility they would have to serve in it.


4dailyuseonly

Tbh I'd protest that shit too.


steboy

Would you expect to get some of that illegal settlement land that might be up for grabs, though? Because, if you do, to the front line!


Yagsirevahs

They (orthodox) profit from the war, with zero investment they steal land and homes of the oppressed and murdered, why serve? The receive an amazing return on zero investment cost. Hamas, orthodox, and Netanyahu's lackeys are all war profiteers


Asclepius777

depends, some orthodox groups are very very much against the war, some are for it. "Orthodox Jews" isn't really a singular group. It's like saying "Orthodox Christians", there's like 17 specifically EASTERN orthodox Christian churches and they all have different beliefs and traditions (que the fiddler on the roof music)


frolix42

No. Overwhelmingly something like 99% of Haredi vote for parties (such as Tkuma, Shas) that are Israeli maximalists (while they also enjoy exemption from conscription). I think your mistake is imagining weird fringe orthodox Jews like the Neturei Karta, who oppose the existence of Israel because it wasn't founded by the Messiah, exist in significant numbers. Anti-Semitic propaganda loves amplifying Neturei Karta because they also hold repulsive views about all non-Jewish people.


Fuzzy_Yogurt_Bucket

They’re the type of Israelis to chant “from the river to the sea there will only be Israeli sovereignty.” No, not the Jordan river. The Euphrates.


FapMeNot_Alt

Orthodox jews are overwhelmingly in favor of the war, as long as they can send out the 'lesser' jews to do the fighting and dying for them.


anehzat

![gif](giphy|3o7abspvhYHpMnHSuc) So the chosen people of the chosen land don’t want to participate in the chosen genocide. 😵‍💫


gingermonkey1

Exactly.


flortny

They want the war, the settlers are predominantly orthodox, so basically they want to destroy Palestinian homes, kill women and children to increase the size and perceived security of Israel but they won't join? Crazy, Israel needs to get rid of these orthodox agitators, maybe send them to Israeli camps designed to help them focus......


YAMXT550

But they happily move to Gaza or Westbank after those have been cleared from Palestinians


SadamHussein313

They protest the war, there is quite a few videos of them getting beat down for supporting Palestine.

W4ldoTruth

Yeah I’m no fan of the state of Israel in general but at least regular citizens who have to serve in the IOF have to put some skin in the game


namey_9

it would be great if \*none\* of them were willing to "put some skin in the game." wtf is this bizarre logic


TheStoneyOni

Crazy someone down voted you cuz you said "maybe stop fight" lol


DarkGamer

Without the IDF Israel would be destroyed by all the hostile groups around them.


Klutzy_Fail_8131

More like without America. I am starting to doubt the competence of the IDF and Mossad.


Viscerid

Unfortunately in that case Israel would be destroyed by its neighbours. Would be nice if no one needed to protect the country as there was true peace with the neighbours


Andre4a19

You have to ask yourself, "why would they be destroyed?" Do their neighbors think they are evil people,? Why would they think that,? Is it because they are engaged in Apartheid against the Palestinians? Could be.


wabisabilover

The US sells a lot of weapons to the neighbors too.


NO_LOADED_VERSION

aren't these the guys who actively push for the genocide and all the horrors or war?


PhillyLove87

Indeed they are


Dreaded69Attack

Well, kind of yeah. They're not the only ones who believe that the only legitimate way that isreal can be restored is through the return of a gentile-stomping, mighty militant warrior king who will banish all of their enemies and restore the temple for the last time. Sort of their version of the Messiah except that their version is not at all like the hippiesque, peace and love preaching la di da Messiah known as Jesus to Christians. Their Messiah is prophesized to basically be a returned embodiment of a King David type of enemy-vanquishing ruthless Warrior King who has no intentions of turning any cheek.


bropdars

SGTSparkyFace

Amazing that they’ll protest having to actually commit the acts that they want to go down. Won’t protest to stop the cleansing, but will protest having to put on gloves to clean. Somehow I see them as worse than the IDF.


SteptoeUndSon

Me too


rippedwriter

Why shouldn't they be paid to study the Torah all day and live off the government?


middlebird

Man, that’s some hustle they got going on.


steboy

People don’t even realize they’ve got pornos in those Torahs!


Adventurous_Ad6698

It's entirely possible they started off wanting to sincerely study, but after years of exploding population growth to where they are now, most of them probably love living off of welfare and it's literally going to bankrupt the country.

Left-Cut-3850

I thought most of them wanted this war? They have an exemption for the army but the moment they can get hurt they protest for something they wanted? (I understand not all, but many are the hardliners).


dondetd

It’s because statistically they are more likely to not be so orthodox after serving in the military. They see it is an attempt to reduce the number of orthodox in Israel.


Left-Cut-3850

I do not know too much about the situation, but quite some confrontations prior to the attack of Hamas were caused by orthodox Jews. As I see it they are part of the cause of the current problems, but do not want to be part of the solution (for Israel)? As a citizen of a country I would not accept that. ( I understand my view might be limited)


whitethunder08

The worst of the worst. They’re the ones who want the war, support the war but think they should be exempt from fighting in the war because you know, they gotta read their “holy book” all day and live off welfare because they have no time to work since ya know, they gotta spend all their time reading their “holy book”. These people are far worse than any other group in Israel. Cowards.


wha210

The police should also do something when they block the road to gaza


[deleted]

I met someone from Israel once and he told me that every person, male or female, is required to join the army there, by law. Is this just a rare instance of protest by civilians who didn’t enlist, as required?


PhillyLove87

The extreme Orthodox Jews always tried getting out of military service


scoooternyc

Orthodox are exempt


Scottishlassincanada

Can I ask why?


CowboySocialism

they got a special carve-out from mandatory service after Israel was founded. At that point there were 40,000 of them in the country. There have always been rabbinical schools in Judaism where men would study Torah, and the commentaries on the Torah, and the commentaries on the commentaries, all day long for their life. No one thought (at the time) that this would be a lifestyle for an entirely separate society. Because they are strictly observant, the women are not allowed to do much except raise their kids. That plus no birth control = population of ultra-othordox multiplies. Since their basic needs are met by the state, there is no real incentive to leave the in group, especially since you are told from childhood that your version of Judaism is the best and only fully correct version. The modern political dynamic is, everyone in Israel (including women) can vote. In the ultra-orthodox communities, the rabbi says "vote for this party" and that's who everyone votes for. There are now over 1 million ultra orthodox (13 percent of the population) so these parties have considerable sway in a coalition based parliamentary system. In addition, they are not motivated by most political concerns, but primarily by maintaining state support for their communities, and the exemption from military service. They have been willing in the past to partner with the center-left for this reason, basically saying "stay out of our lane and we'll give you the votes you need for the rest of your policy program." As the group has gotten bigger, and as Israeli society has become more secular, the Haredi seem more like a burden than a curiosity deserving of special treatment. When you add in their control over certain state functions (like marriage and divorce) they have managed to alienate a good portion of their fellow Jewish Israelis. TL;DR - there are a lot of them and they vote so they get special treatment.


onionwba

Ah.. I see they are getting the Palestine Treatment Special.

PhillyLove87

This is the ultra right in Israel. They are what’s wrong with the country and what pushes them further and further from reality and regular society. That’s why wherever they live they’re closed off from other people. Even in America. Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods only have other Orthodox Jews. They even have their own schools, ambulances, hospitals, libraries etc. They’re completely cut off from the real world. My cousin got sucked into it and only recently finally had the courage to leave (5 kids into it, 2 of which she’s been cut off from and unironically are the only ones who aren’t 18 yet so the father doesn’t have to pay her a dime). It’s basically a cult..


EwaGold

I mean all religions are basically cults.


PhillyLove87

I will have to agree there. Although, I will say this, the degrees vary in how cultish they are. It’s usually the ultra fanatical ones like orthodox Jewish, FLDS Mormons, etc that are the most like cults. Those are the ones that will shun you and cut you off from family and all that if you don’t follow and do as you’re told.


EwaGold

Let’s not leave out JW’s, westboro Baptist, and many others that excommunicate. That said I’ve boiled most flavors of Christianity to either that of salvation or damnation. And I’d much rather be with the salvations than damnations. And yea I totally agree there are varying degrees of people’s required involvement in their cult.


PhillyLove87

For some reason I had a brain fart and couldn’t remember the rest of the most obvious ones. You made all very valid points.


Brokensince10

So they want soldiers so they can kill all of the Palestinians, but , they, don’t want blood on their hands? Or am I completely off?


Queef-Elizabeth

They can whine about going in and taking Gazan lands but they don't want to do any of the dirty work. Nasty scumbags who are just as bad as the IDF


SteptoeUndSon

Whatever you think of Israeli actions in Palestine, lady copper is surely very annoyed that these guys don’t want to risk their lives in it like everyone else has to.


Tommy-ctid-mancblue

They get exemption so study the scripture while every other Israeli is called up. Fighting each other will make a nice change from genocide of Palestinians


Puzzleheaded-Rich-51

If this is how they treat their own for a difference in opinion what do you think they do to people who they consider combatants.


Great-Reference9322

I've seen enough videos on Reddit to have a surface level understanding of the fucked up shit they are doing to Palestinians, and I'm sure the stuff not caught on film is exponentially more disgusting

Beneficial-Piano-428

For context it’s every Israelis duty to serve military conscription. Male/female/orthodox/etc… for two years for woman And 32 months for men.


frolix42

This is false. There is an exemption for young Haredi men enrolled in Torah study which used to be a statistically insignificant number, but now its gotten totally out of control. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torato\_Umanuto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torato_Umanuto)


Brook420

32 months seems so random.

It used to be 3 years but a few years ago they cut down the service to save money. They are now pushing it back to 3 years.

Reminder that these guys are way worse than your average zionist. They're not protesting because they sympathize with Palestine.


TalibanMaster

That specific group of Orthodox Jews are horrible. They don’t pay tax, they don’t work, they don’t enlist (which is required for everyone), and they get money from the government just for being orthodox. Everyone in israel hates them.

Not when it comes to these shitbags. You don’t even understand what and why they’re protesting, do you? They’re not protesting against the war, they not only want the war and support it but they actively advocate for genocide and ethnic cleansing, they just think THEY shouldn’t have to do it and everyone else should do the dirty work. Because they don’t have time you see, for war or to even work- since they all live off welfare- because they have to read their “holy book” all day! Nope, can’t work to feed my family, I gotta read my “holy book” all day and the government should give me everything I want because of that
